I'm not sure why ppl want to think just because the JL/U will have the engine capable of pulling, that it will be able to legally pull weight.11,000 lbs ? ED Ram is not rated to pull that much. My loaded crew cab with 6.4 bed laramie 4x4 with 3.55 gears is rated to tow 7,500 if I had 3.92 gears it would be 8,500 lbs.
In order to pull 11k lbs you'd need a stipped down single cab 2x4 truck.
I highly doubt a Wrangler with standard 4x4 and its chassis will be able to pull more then 5,000 lbs, my guess is 4-5k.
I have no doubt the engine is capable...but the Wrangler would be thrown all over the place and would take forever to stop...never mind an emergency stop.
It's the platform...not the engine. No matter the engine, I can't ever see a Wrangler being rated over 5k for towing.
